thedukemitchell... for more weird videos plus strange film nights in London. Animated cereal commercials from the 1960s & 1970s compilation. #CerealCommercials
The Rocky and Bullwinkle ones and the one with Bambi was amazing. I wish there was some more cereal commercials with the Disney characters from the 1960s to the 1970s.
0:25- A few years before (1968), Casper *almost* became a Post cereal, when they considered him for their "Ghosties" package. They went as far an animating a "test commercial"- but that's as far as it went.
I saw a Bullwinkle episode recently for the first time in decades. It was full of topical humor and jokes that certainly would have gone over the heads of every kid watching but still had enough laughs for children as well. I remember that a lot of kids disliked it because of its rather simple and low-budget animation but that kinda sets it apart from other cartoons now.
These are like the eighties cereal commercials because they're cereals based on cartoon characters, but the Flintstones pebbles cereals are the only cereals based on children's characters that lasted longer
Pretty sure my father's doing Kix Clyde at 11:47. Len Maxwell. Also, Freakies Grumble and Snorkeldorf, and the announcer...? Maybe Alphabits at 50:42ish?
Your father did a LOT of commecials (especially the "McDonaldland" spots for McDonald's in 1970 and '71- "Sure enough, the Hamburglar WENT for it!")- it's him! 😊
Your father could do a *great* impression of Pete Smith (the narrator of MGM's "Pete Smith Specialties" theatrical shorts)- and I know his voice when he does traces of it.
